Has Your Upline Lied To You?

November 9th, 2008
by Rebecca Holman

If you are new to network marketing then these facts may scare you. Don’t back away or hide your head in the sand…it is obvious that the techniques that you are being taught by your upline are out of date and moldy. Back in the 90s most of those ideas worked, but now with the Internet, everything has changed.

Were you told to make a “Warm List” of 100 friends and family? Have you been told to speak to anyone about your opportunity that is within 3 feet of you? Do you have to drive miles to get to those Holiday Inn Second Looks? Well it is time to put away those “old school” ways. The smart money is being made by marketers that are learning how to leverage the power of the internet to build their online businesses.

You need to transform your thinking and stop chasing your friends and family. Stop stalking strangers in shopping malls, stop buying leads & lord knows please stop cold calling and strong arming people to join your business opportunity.

I know what its like to struggle in this industry. For the last 3 years I followed the training of my upline, struggling to get anyone to sign up in my business. I live in Montana, so the pickings are very limited and once you have gone through your list of 100 (if you know that many people) you are done my friend you will be shunned. No more BBQ invites..and if you have changed opportunities more than once FAGEDDABOUTIT, you might as well have a social disease.

So I know firsthand the frustrations, struggles and questions that you have had while trying to duplicate your business through your downline. Even a popular person will struggle using these old world techniques in this new world of marketing. No one likes to chase people, put up fliers, hand out cards and the whole ball of wax…especially if after months of doing it you are not seeing results.

The only way to be able to take advantage of the current Internet trends is to be able to have a system that is up 24/7/365. Offers systematized training, allows for individually branded websites, Google HATES replicated websites…or didn’t your upline know that? By having a system in place your team is on autopilot with little need for you to input. You decide how much you want to be involved.

To make your system as accessible as possible, it should allow for unique sites for each team member, but no need for HTML or coding. This will allow even the newbie to compete with the experienced network marketer. Your attrition rates will be less because there is no cold calling, no chasing warm or cold leads, no badgering. As a matter of fact you are not presenting your primary opportunity up front. So I have not taken away all your hurdles to failure. What are you going to do now?
